Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathy to the family.

It is shocking new that he is not any more. I was able to work with Kevin 7+ years. I enjoyed discussions with him, technical as well as non-technical. I know his passion to work on tractors and anything to build in our lab. He will be remembered as a good coworker as well as a friend. I will miss him in our office.

I am so sorry to hear this news of Kevin's passing. He was always a very dedicated co-worker and loved to talk about his life outside of work. May God bring comfort as only He can to all of you.

Kevin was a big man with a big heart. Anytime I needed help with a big project at.my house he would help or offer to help me. We also had a good r u n at Walbro for about 15+ years. I have a lot of fun memories from our time together. I regret that I didn't keep in touch with Kevin the last few years. There is a large beautiful maple.tree in my yard that Kevin planted more than 30 years ago that serves as a good memorial.
